The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bögenhafen

[Dr Simon]

[sblock=Aaryn]
Aaryn sees nothing else of note in the room, except... the locked cabinet is enspelled, with an arcane lock ritual. Small wonder Garold couldn't open it.

There is little historical precedent that suggests much about this room. During the Time of Three Emperors, a thousand years ago, when the Empire descended into chaos (and Chaos), worship of the chaos gods was open and rife, but when Magnus the Pious finally gained control of the Empire, the cults were eradicated. Many, however, are thought to have gone underground. Sometimes literally.

"This place reeks of chaos. Anyway we have the goblin, at least what's left of him. Let us away with his corpse and be done. I may be able to unlock the cabinet later, but it is warded with magic. Best to leave it be for now. We shall return to it later. It isn't going anywhere."

Aaryn turns to the door. He clearly intends for someone else to carry the dead goblin.

"Can't we just bash the cabinet?"

OOC: If I remember the description, of the goblin only greasy stain remains.

OOC: There's a small pelvis with three sockets too, which would seem pretty conclusively to belong to a three-legged goblin.

"Can't we just bash the cabinet?"

"That would be unwise. As I said, it is warded and bashing it might be detrimental to your health."

 

[FourMonos]

"Someone could easily take what is in the cabinet while we are away. The contents could be important. Whoever it was was an agent of Chaos."

Garold gives the monogrammed kerchief to Aaryn for safe keeping. He then uses his sword to pick up the remains (pelvis) of the goblin and place it in the bag he brought.

"It there is no more to it, we might as well head back to the circus."

 

[Neurotic]

"That would be unwise. As I said, it is warded and bashing it might be detrimental to your health."

"And that from the elf that entered demon's lair without thought and fought the ogre in the boxing match.

Give me some room."

[MENTION=21938]Dr Simon[/MENTION], could we get more details on the cabinet? Is there a lock that could be bashed without destroying the cabinet, how big it is (i.e. can it be brought back to surface)? Any chance of bashing just one side without crashing whatever's inside etc...you know, how to open the cabinet with dwarven lockpick (warhammer)

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: It's like a small wardrobe/locker made from sturdy wood. Two people could probably carry it (awkwardly) provided it isn't filled with gold ingots. The keyhole is a small thing just under the handle. It doesn't look like it would be too hard to batter open, but without knowing what is inside it is difficult to judge if this will damage the contents or not.

 

[airwalkrr]

"Bring it along if you like. I'll not carry it. Likely no one is to follow us down here and we can always come back for it. I, for one, would like to see if there is a ritual I can learn to help us to open it without damaging it at the least."

 

[Neurotic]

Shrugging.

"You're the expert on that stuff. Just make sure you know how to get back, I'd like to see the thing of Chaos destroyed."
